May 4th - Day 77 : Big day today. Decided to prepare for flowering stage.Reduced the light schedule to 16 hours and brought down the humidity down to 55% for 2-3 days to see if i'd get some flowers popping. I also defoliated quite heavily in order to bring down the humidity levels in the tent (pics taken before defo). I'm here all week so will update wednesday.

A step back recently: Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input! 250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened. She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here. PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM. 5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap). Day 70. It’s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. I’ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12” autos but at 2’ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed! Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?! As the week concludes, she’s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

We have pulled 4 of the 9 Gorilla Cookies as they looked ready, the other 5 we will monitor and pull as required. Some of the Buds look really awesome and they are sticky and smelly :) The 5 left in the tent are on an H20 only diet and will now have more room and light until they get chop chop :)

Our Zamnesia autoflowers have been on their journey through the magical flowering period for a while now, this is the second week of flowering considering that autoflowers still flower spontaneously some sooner than others but all around the 3rd-4th week. . ---- The general environmental conditions are good, the heat has increased a bit more but for the first weeks of flowering it is not a big problem, let's remember to never exceed 27 degrees centigrade in the last 4 weeks to avoid compromising the quality of the flowers. If necessary open the growbox but never let it exceed 27-30 degrees where 30 is already a lot. The positive thing is that as soon as the lights go out the change is already somewhat visible and as autumn progresses we will also improve. The humidity is fluctuating but we try to control it with two dehumidifiers when necessary, pushing both of them possibly not into the growbox but directly into the room. (I dehumidify the room and the air in the growbox should also be dehumidified) --- This strain is another important name of the old school. The Zamnesia elves noticed that I am gray and surely thought that I am a lover of old flavors. In fact, if I taste the original Northern Light I immediately go back to Amsterdam in the 90s early 2000s. And this happens to me with the cheese when I find it, with the Blueberry that broke my legs on arrival once, with the Skunk and SuperSkunk that were the first Dutch things that arrived in Italy. Wow what memories. Terpenes also do this, they leave well-defined memories thanks to smells and flavors. It grows vigorous and strong, old school strains are super stable, we know. AH there is a second twin that I have not shown you yet that in my opinion, judging by the leaf, is the closest to the Classic Northern Light. A strain to go to bed peacefully, they used to say. --- Fertilizer program - The fertilizers are always Plagron and I am following the table that I generated on the site depending on the chosen substrate. Create your own card and follow it, never be presumptuous my friend as I have been in the past, follow the card and look at the plants, not all need the same amount of fertilizer. We have come to the time to give a good dose of iron in the first weeks of flowering, already of race life not sprayed but mixed with fertilizers. We then added the power buds to stimulate the birth and development of the flowers. ---- https://plagron.com/it - Power Roots - 1ml/l - Alga Bloom - 4 ml/l - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1ml/l - Vita Race - 5 ml/l - Power Buds - 1 ml/l --- The dehumidifier now runs between 50% and 55% --- The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-pla gron-easy-pack-natural.html // Strain Description // Born from the rib of a classic, Northern Lights Automatic is a weed from the past, but with a futuristic update. This feminized version sees Northern Lights hybridized with a ruderalis to create an extra sweet variety, that all fans are sure to love.

Fantastik we have finally arrived at the harvest: thanks to fust bud, for the good and strong seeds, the plants grew in 80/85 days, each plant has buds, hard, full of resin, the smell is very strong, the shape of the plant is of the classic type. a huge bud in the center, and all other slightly smaller branches. I grew up with 24/24 light, I didn't want to practice any form of stress, I just let nature take its course. 2/05/2023 _____ after 2 weeks and a few days, i can say that this plant is the bomb! its power is immense it relaxes you and when it serves it makes you creative a nice 10/10 to genetics

Completed Week 12 (Week 4 Bloom) with a bang, discovered I had Powdery Mildew! Culprit was a newer plant from another tent. Treated with a milk/water (60/40) solution and gave it a serious defoliation and even removed really bad PM'd bud sites. So pissed that I had left both tents open, when I should have kept only one open at a time. I am hoping I can stay on top of keeping it in control and will look to use an H2O2/water solution to briefly soak the harvest in afterwards to kill off any PM and other bacteria. I think next time, unless I know I can easily access all four sides of a scrog, it is very difficult to maintain and defoliate properly.

Thaught the yield would be bigger and the smell louder in generell.

Everything seems to be going slow still. Did one last heavy defoliation to get good airflow going. I added the Ts1000w from Mars Hydro. I’m still feeding the usual 3.0EC from Floraflex. Smell is more on a minty side I can’t really describe it. Other than that nothing else. See you all next week.

83 days from seed, soil was hot from day 1 & I ended up stunting the plants this run... Low yield at 14g but still enough I will at least be able to test, stunted this one & it was pulled early, could have used another 2 weeks, prone to thrips! Candy/Gas/Hash on the nose, would make for an excellent concentrate! Grown in Black Swallow living soil with Cronks PUUR Organics line! Photos taken with the new Sony A7 V + 28-75mm F/2.8 Tamron Di III VXD G2 zoom lens, images are heavily cropped & could have been better, am still learning how to use the camera :P

Start week 9 From the end of last week i feed Dolomite 9tbs per 1 gal of water to fix soil acidity(hope will help) and no fill any more nutrient. At this point seem to be all plant will ready for harvest in next 2 week. So additional nutrient should be not require on this period, just watering until harvest day. Over all bud of BCN looking good and Pineapple looking better from last week but still smaller than expect. I try to change light hrs. By 12/12(some local professional recommend i will try).

***** Week 5 December 12 to 19, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination ***** Going to call this a veg week at the start. Will see how she progresses in the next two days if we change it to a flower week. She is transitioning but not knowing this strain, she may take a full week to do or may only be a couple of days and she popping hairs everywhere😀 She will tell us......just be patient and watch😳 Either way i expect her to take off in growth over the next 14 days and should be fun to watch based on other diaries. She has a great canopy at the start of the week and her branches have grown laterally very well.........giving her the width to open up and let more light down the middle in the weeks ahead👍 She has reacted very well to LST and her side branches have shot up! Noticed at watering today that her main stem is getting a good girth on her already as well.........reminds me of my Zkittelz which was another Fast Buds awesome run!!!! She is set up to do very well in the days ahead. Leaf colour is spot on and we have stoped veg nutrients already. This week we will be stepping up the watering I can tell and likely move to daily watering by the end of the week.......again, if the pots heavy - don’t water - let the roots breath baby😀 Will be slowly working up the light intensity in the days ahead as well.....might be next week though. She has not been to excited about extra light intensity and had to keep it calm and under 20,000 because going over that caused her to react. If she is drooping, then back down the power or increase the distance👍 Slow and easy.......slow and easy.......she is happy and we move forward with week 5.......Flower is upon us and she is looking good😀 Little more daily detail......... Dec 12/20, Day 29 - dry out day - basically left the auto girls alone today. - she is forming an even canopy......just caught my today how she is coming together👍 Dec 13/20, Day 30 - 2L watering with MagNifiCal @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml = 100ppm and 5.7pH - giving her a plain watering but since RO water added some CalMag and their allotment of microbes for the week!! - adjust LST on the girl again and was able to get further out and keep pulling her down. She letting me get her wide👍 - she is really looking nice today!! - keep it going girl......she is going to explode with growth this week and next 💪👊 Dec 14, Day 31 - her pot was fairly dry in evening. - 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, Velokelp, Natures Candy @ 1.5ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH - she has some runoff but didn't check the numbers tonight. - her leaves were more droopy than expected in the evening so I think she is looking for nutrients today. Dec 15/20, Day 32 - she is feeding well and the pot is lighter again today. - 1L RO water with enzymes Komplete @ 2ml = 45ppm and 5.6pH......chose not to adjust it. - enzymes to help clean up the root zone and timing it flower change and nutrients. - she is forming buds and have switched this week to a flower week from Veg👍👊 - moved ties further out a couple of branches and pulled a couple down further. Dec 16/20, Day 33 - dry out day to let the pots get really light. - want to make sure the pH stays in line so drying out a little more today. Dec 17/20. Day 34 - 2L watering with RO water and Rhinoskin, Magnifical, Microbial Mass @ 2ml - 350ppm and 5.8pH. - pot is lighter today and don't think I should go another day so feeding today. - she is happy and all her leaves are up and her canopy looks good. - I did push her nute levels and a lot of tips are burnt but its all good....not to far over😀 Dec 18/20, Day 35 - dry out day for her today as well. - bringing down the moisture in all of the pots. - she is going to sleep a little early...... She is a very nice looking girl Fast Buds. I have had other strains from FB that also at this point doing well and showing similar characteristics......those runs all ended very well😍.......hoping the trend continues👊🙏

This is the tester strain sent to me by @toon_town it's a #saskatoonberry x #afghani mystery .. She has been great since day one very good growth rate excellent structure and lots of bud sites formed and filling out .. she has 7 friends to start but we down to three two females and a male plant .. The selected male show resistance to cold, humidity, lack of water .. the male had lots of growth and will make a suitable plant for some pollen ...
